Poker Hands Ranking

All the 5 card poker games, regardless of if they are played as free poker or online poker or live poker or indeed just on the kitchen table amongst friends all have the same hierarchy of hand rankings and these never alter. A player may strive their whole poker career to be the lucky recipient of a ‘Royal Flush' some may get more than their fare share over time, however it is often what you do with the hands dealt to you that counts more than the hand itself.

Any online poker hand has no distinction between suits, the face value of a card will often be the determining factor in a hand but the suits have no comparative value when it comes to deciding who wins the pot.

Above we have provided a run down of the poker hands ranking, starting with the Almighty ‘Royal Flush' and then in descending order.
